Northern England

England's proud and historic North has so much to offer. The North East England is the home of theatre, art and culture. Newcastle has more theatres per person than anywhere else in the UK, it is also rich in culture and art with the BALTIC centre of contemporary art and of course the famous angel of the north. The North West can offer great variety, with the quiet and picturesque Lake District and the lively outgoing towns of Manchester and Liverpool, the region is most certainly an area of contrast.
